I am camping at a state park site that has 30 amp working electrical hook ups but am not getting that power into my camper. The 30 amp chord doesn't seem to be working. When I plug it in, the lights on the chord do not light up. The surge protector lights up showing power. Decided to camp 2 nights without it and tried to conserve battery power. It's Sunday morning and I've run down my battery. Now to close slide out and awning my options seem to be 1. Try to borrow neighbor 30 amp chord or battery, 2. Manual crank, 3. jumper cables and TV battery, 3. Drive 2 hours home for the back up jumper/battery pack that I forgot to bring. Guess I'll try the camping neighbors 1st. Any other ideas? Side note: Im camping with 7 kids under age 12. We are having a great time and beautiful weather.

It sounds like from your post that you have a portable surge protector plugged into the park power and then your power cord plugged into the surge protector. Since you are in the bind here I would suggest you remove the surge protector and plug directly into the park power. Of course there is a slight risk here if the park power is bad. You may want to contact a park ranger or similar and have them look at the park power first. Power outlets in Public Parks are bad very often.

No 115 power. Tried every campsite for a power chord. No luck. Tried hooking up to truck via the 7 pin trailer wiring. No power. Although I've never gotten power to camper that way. Now thinking jumper cables to battery or manual cranking.
